A place especially for toddlers. Children 4 and under will have a ball in this aquarium themed area designated just for them. Wallow in the sponge pool, crawl through the submersible tunnel, build with blocks, make funny faces in the oversized mirrors and more! Generously sponsored by the Emerald Empire Kiwanis.
